Balk?
I have had different answer to this scenario.
This is for NFHS and MLB rules
Scenario #1: Runner on 1B. Righthanded pitcher in the stretch. Pitcher spins to throw to the 1B who is behind or in front of the runner....is this a Balk? Or is it a judgment on the umpire if he feels a play is being made on runner even though off the base?
Scenario #2: Runner on 3B. Righthanded pitcher in the stretch. Pitcher steps toward 3B bag and throws to the 3B player who is about 5'-10' off the 3B bag....is this a Balk or is this a judgment as well?
